That time this was my kitchen window when Quatchi & I stayed in Palermo for 6 weeks over Christmas.

A 15th century cathedral sits across the courtyard from a wooden window sill where the 2010 Vancouver Olympics Mascot, a plush Quatchi, sits with a cup of espresso

These all look like cheap as fuck AI-generated slop. Embarrassingly bad. Compare this crap to the brilliance of our 2010 Olympic mascots:

Sumi, Quatchi, Miga, and the homey Mukmuk.

I would say my Quatchi mascot from the 2010 Olympics, who travelled through 25 countries with me. (His buddy Garfield I’ve had for 44 years, astoundingly.)

All conversations about Olympic mascots must start and end with Quatchi

Canada should go all-in on mascots in the Japanese style. We’re good at mascots we just don’t have enough of them.

Quebec Winter Carnival’s mascot Bonhomme Carnival. He is a somewhat unsettling-looking white snowman with two black coal eyes wearing a red tuque (floppy conical winter hat with a pompom), a red and blue arrow sash around his waist, and 5 black coal buttons on his torso. In the traditional Quebec style, he has a nose made of snow rather than a carrot. He is waving in front of snowy stone steps.

Canadian Army mascot, Juno. He is a white polar bear with a big broad chest but the lower body proportions of a man, giving him a cartoon superhero body shape. He wears a red Canadian Army t-shirt, green camouflage pants and a dark grey baseball cap with the army emblem on it. He is flexing in front of an arctic snowscape background.

One of Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Olympics mascots, Quatchi. He is a very cute brown sasquatch wearing blue earmuffs and red Olympic mittens. He is sort of a cross between a bear and an ape, with a bipedal furry body, small furry round ears, and a furless beige face with a canine black nose. He is clapping his mittens while standing on a city sidewalk.

(Anyway the best mascots for anything in the last couple of decades were Sumi the animal guardian spirit, Quatchi the sasquatch, Miga the sea bear, and Mukmuk the marmot, for the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympics.)

My favourite #window photo ever for the #BlueskyArtShow is this — my kitchen window sill and the 15th century church it overlooked in Palermo, Sicily, home for 7 weeks over Xmas 2018.

That’s Vancouver Olympic 🇨🇦 mascot Quatchi (& my travel partner for 5 years as a nomad).
